Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Sam Man!

April 14 has come and gone, and little Sam Man has turned the big 3!  Our sweet little peanut is now a little man and continues to remind me of this every day.  "No Mommy, I do it!" he'll tell me when I try to help him with something.  He is starting to go to the bathroom on the potty (when he feels like it) and aspires to be just like his big sister; wild and ambitious.  :)  He and Adri are the best of friends, and he looks up to her in every single way possible.  "Agee, you play with me?  Agee, we play cars?"  And ending every sentence with "Right Agee?", as if she has all the answers. 

Although Sam still loves to be carried around (and cling to you when you carry him), he has decided that Mommy kisses are icky, and wipes them off with a huge "Yuuuuuuck!" whenever I kiss him.  :)  Each morning and night he has to have his Mommy kisses and huggies though, begging me to come and give them to him.  He is also quite the cuddler, snuggling as much as you'll let him.

Sam is an exact replica of his Daddy; same physique, same quiet thoughtfulness, same sweet and gentle way about them.  He follows his Daddy wherever he goes and begs Daddy to play games and cars with him all the time.  One of his favorite things to do is do puzzles on the floor with Daddy.  I have a feeling Matt will have him fishing and hunting in no time.  :)

Here are some of the pictures from sweet little man's 3rd birthday...

Here is his little birthday cake...

Sam wants everyone to know that his pants hang just like Daddy's.  :D

This picture is pure Sam.  Sweet, little, comedian.
